The second chapter in the fashion fairytale that is the Gucci x The North Face collaboration has just landed – and there are quite a few surprises in store.
First up, the brands have opted for a rather unlikely star to front the collab: TikTok’s 21-year-old trainspotting sensation, Francis Bourgeois. In his modelling debut, Bourgeois made the most of his love of all things locomotive for the new campaign – playing a train announcer who welcomes models decked in Gucci X The North Face on a fantastical journey through the Alps.
The collection itself picks up where the last left off, focusing on the spirit of exploration and discovery with a high-fashion twist. Think monogrammed, heavy-duty boots perfect for outdoor activities, as well as practical overalls, trousers and accessories which have undergone extreme Guccification, with colourful prints and stylish details. Plus, a few new iterations of the sell-out puffer jacket.

Not to mention all the celebrities and style stars who have already been spotted wearing pieces from the latest drop...
